Wilson Lecture in Medical Humanities at noon April 22 in the Wittson Hall Amphitheater, Room 3034. The lecture titled, &ldquo;Great Wits and Madness,&rdquo; is open to the public as well as to employees, faculty and students. A box lunch will be provided to the first 60 attendees.<\/p>\n<p>\n&ldquo;In his courage both to write and to talk openly about his struggles with mental illness, Dr. Vonnegut shows us a human vulnerability from which our profession too often wants to hide,&rdquo; said Bud Shaw, M.D., professor of surgery and the faculty member who heads the lectureship for UNMC. &ldquo;Mark&rsquo;s most recent book is very popular among our medical students, many of whom have never heard of his father.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Vonnegut is the son of the famed novelist, the late Kurt Vonnegut, who is best known for his 1969 book, &ldquo;Slaughterhouse-Five,&rdquo;&nbsp;an antiwar novel that appeared during peak protesting of American involvement in the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Vonnegut&#039;s very popular book, &ldquo;Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So,&rdquo;&nbsp;appeared in 2010, 35 years after the publication of &quot;The Eden Express,&rdquo; his first memoir exploring the trials of serious mental illness. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n&ldquo;In many ways, it is a follow up to his earlier book,&rdquo; Dr. Shaw said. &ldquo;Mark was in the midst of what one could consider an utterly normal and highly successful life as a husband, father and pediatrician when he suffered a surprise attack that threatened everything. His story is one of repeated recoveries from an illness he shows us will never quite be cured.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>About the Wilson Lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Wilson lecture is co-sponsored by the Linda W. and Charles S. Wilson Foundation for Medical Humanities at UNMC and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and by the Humanities in Medicine Program at UNL. It is coordinated by Rose Holz, associate director of women&rsquo;s and gender studies, UNL, and Bud Shaw, M.D., at UNMC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Wilson initiated the program at UNL in 1996 to encourage students interested in studying medicine to major in the humanities during their undergraduate years.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe expanded the program to UNMC in 2004 to sponsor humanities lectures and other related activities at the medical center.<\/p>\n<p>\nA retired cardiologist with the Nebraska Heart Institute in Lincoln, Dr. Wilson served 18 years on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe dropped his pre-med major to study art, literature, music and other humanities &#8212; much to the chagrin of his undergraduate counselor who said, &quot;Mark my words, young man, you will never get into medical school.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Wilson received his M.D. from Northwestern University in 1964.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;I have never regretted doing that (quitting the official pre-med program),&quot; he said during a lecture at UNMC in 2005. &quot;You can major in history or literature or art and still go to medical school. My colleagues often tell me, &lsquo;If I had to do it over again I&#039;d take more &#8212; you fill in the blank.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\nPast Wilson Lectures have featured:<\/p>\n<p>\n2014 &#8212;&nbsp;<strong>Susan Lawrence, Ph.D.,<\/strong>&nbsp;The Ohio State University, making sense of the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>\n2013 &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Lee Gutkind<\/strong>, founder of Creative Nonfiction, the first and largest literary magazine to publish narrative nonfiction exclusively.<\/p>\n<p>\n2011 &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Susan Reverby, Ph.D<\/strong>., Wellesley College, syphilis studies in Tuskegee and Guatemala.<\/p>\n<p>\n2010 &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>David Watts, M.D.,<\/strong>&nbsp;University of California-San Francisco, how exposure to literature, prose and poems make medical students more humanistic.<\/p>\n<p>\n2007 &#8212;&nbsp;<strong>Lilian Furst, Ph.D.,<\/strong>&nbsp;University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, how developments in the 19th century gave birth to some of the most startling advances in medical history.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Through world-class research and patient care, UNMC generates breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond.
